Site description
The last tug in the Belzona trek. This is the largest and deepest of all of them - and the one offering less to explore, unfortunately.
The only is the only thing left on this wreck together with it's main deck - wheelhouse is not there anymore.
Marine life is the same as the other sites around: fish tend to roam around in between the sites. This one does not offer the best of shelter at all.
Route & typical conditions

This site is almost never than as a stand alone dive. It sits around 150 feet due east of Belzona 1 tug. A quick recon swim over the wreck is everything divers need to get to know this site.
Typical conditions
Conditions are average for this site. Visibility ranges from 30 to 60 feet and currents are very mild if any.
Wreck history
The Belzona Three, the last of three tugs donated by Belzona America, Incorporated, has an intriguing history. Originally built in 1953 as the Carinthia for the LaFournier Towing Company, this 105-foot-long tug served faithfully for over 45 years. Unfortunately, her engine eventually gave out, rendering refurbishment too costly. Enter the Byrd Diving and Salvage Company of Miami, which prepared the tug for a new purpose—as an artificial reef.
Renamed Belzona Three, she found her final resting place on June 25, 1991. Located approximately 100 feet due west of Belzona One and 150 feet east-southeast of Belzona Two, the Belzona Three stands as the largest and most intact of the three tugs.
